Stripped oil pump!
I think I screwed the pick up tube bolt in to tight and may have stripped the whole on the oil pump. What do I do? Buy another oil pump? Help!

Oh, nad next time remember to only tighten that pickup tube bolt to 9-10 ft-lbs.

I agree on the typo, LOL.
Hamrhead, buy another oil pump and definitely watch the torque. I have a good manual with all the torque specs if you want some copies. FYI, I have a brand new stock pump you can have for $55 plus shipping from ABQ, NM, 87114. I bought it with the intentions of modding it but slacked off and bought a ported/blueprinted one later for $135.
Let me know if you are interested.
